Into the lives of parents with school-age children has come a great convenience, the School Bus, which rolls through suburban streets or coughs along country ruts, collecting and depositing pupils at certain corners at certain hours.

No foreign boulders were found, and the conclusion was reached that the southern part of the Long Range had never been glaciated...

Tall, lean, industrious, he is seldom so jolly as that, though last week he was to be seen in Manhattan full of great cheers over a new M-G-M cinema contract, and his employers' extravagant advertising...
